Top Trending Mountain View Hotels in San Jose

I visit the Bay Area probably 6 times a year for work and like to try new places. Hotel Nico is very nice for someone on a business trip. The room is big enough and, Internet speed is off the charts, which is very important for me, whether it's work-related or even just streaming a movie in HD - awesome speed.
The complimentary breakfast is well above-average with an omelette chef (very nice touch) and plenty of hot foods, including breakfast potatoes. There are plenty of apples and oranges, and I would have liked to have seen them carry bananas and yogurt. I mean, if you're going to serve just one fruit for BREAKFAST it would be bananas, right? This is a relatively minor point.
The staff is laid back and helpful.
There are two floors and be sure to request the 2nd floor.
There are so many good hotels in the valley and this one doesn't have a regular wine-tasting, and doesn't have a swimming pool, but the Internet speed and breakfast give them a nice advantage.

My most important concern in hotels is "sound": street noise, other patrons, mechanical systems(how loud the shower is when guy next room over takes a shower at 5am, or if air handlers/HVAC systems are too loud, elevator noise, etc.).
I was very pleased with the sound, or in this case, "Lack of sound". Now granted, I was on the top floor, of this 3 floor building, and not facing the street. But none the less, was very happy with this hotel.

Great room set-up; nice kitchenette area, very comfortable bed and down comforter- much warmer than a typical hotel bed. Hotel was only 2 miles from the Shoreline; definitely a long walk, but doable (about 40 min walk). Staff was helpful and fast at check-in and out. They had a great hot breakfast!
